Is the Control of Conventionality Really Viable?

The theoretical way in which the majority doctrine addresses the control of conventionality could be significantly modified if one takes into account the real level of compliance with the judgments in which the Inter-American Court has ordered to carry out. The present work analyzes this data, almost always omitted, and incorporates it into the doctrine of conventionality control, to try to determine if such control is viable in practice. This, given the leading role assigned to the Court for the proper functioning of this control

Rapid Communication: The Progesterone Receptor (PGR) Gene Maps to Porcine Chromosome 9p13-p11 by a Rodent-Porcine Somatic Cell Hybrid Panel

Genus and Species. Sus scrofa. Locus. Pig Progesterone Receptor ( PGR) gene. Source and Description of Primers. Oligonucleotide primers were designed from a partial pig PGR cDNA sequence (Genbank accession no. S49016) with inferred intron-exon boundary information from humans (Misrahi et al., 1993). The primers were designed to span the intron between exons 7 and 8 of the PGR gene

IUS CONSTITUTIONALE COMMUNE PARA AMÉRICA LATINA (ICCAL) Y ACTIVISMO JUDICIAL: ¿HACIA EL GOBIERNO DE LOS JUECES?

La incorporación de los tratados de derechos humanos al bloque de constitucionalidad, la doctrina del control de convencionalidad y el activismo judicial propugnados por el Ius Constitutionale Commune para América Latina (ICCAL), están produciendo una profunda transformación en el modo de concebir y de operar de los ordenamientos jurídicos nacionales de nuestra región. El presente trabajo pasa revista a estos fenómenos y deja planteadas varias interrogantes teóricas que surgen a partir del mismo

LA NOTABLE INCERTEZA QUE PRODUCE LA INCORPORACIÓN DE TRATADOS DE DERECHOS HUMANOS AL BLOQUE DE CONSTITUCIONALIDAD

Resumen: La incorporación de Tratados de Derechos Humanos y de la jurisprudencia de la Corte Interamericana al bloque de constitucionalidad genera un grave problema de incerteza que usualmente no ha sido tratado por la doctrina partidaria de esa incorporación. Lo anterior no se debe a un mal funcionamiento de los ordenamientos jurídicos nacionales, sino a algunas características del Derecho Internacional de los Derechos Humanos y a la manera en que la Corte pretende que funcione el Sistema Interamericano de Derechos HumanosAbstract: The incorporation of Human Rights Treaties and the jurisprudence of the Inter-American Court into the constitutional block generate a serious problem of uncertainty that as a rule, has not been addressed by the party doctrine of that incorporation. The foregoing is not due to a malfunction of national legal systems, but to some characteristics of International Human Rights Law and to the way in which the Court intends the Inter-American Human Rights System to work.Sommario: L’incorporazione di trattati sui diritti umani e la giurisprudenza della Corte Interamericana nel blocco costituzionale genera un grave problema di incertezza che non è stato solitamente affrontato dalla dottrina del partito di tale incorporazione. Ciò non è dovuto a un malfunzionamento dei sistemi giuridici nazionali, ma ad alcune caratteristiche del diritto internazionale dei diritti umani e al modo in cui la Corte intende lavorare con il Sistema Interamericano dei Diritti Umani.
